Digital services have become more important than ever since the pandemic began in early 2020. It’s making it more difficult than ever to recruit and retain software developers and other tech workers who can demand more money and other perks amid wide competition for their talents, reports AP News.
How difficult is it to hire tech workers right now?
There is a demand level unlike anything we have ever seen in many, many years. And that demand increase is ultimately fueled by digital acceleration. And every company in the world, regardless of the industry, is pushing toward digital business models. So that is ultimately leading to this situation that are faced with today.
High attrition rates
There is an unprecedented battle for (technology) talent, reflective of the fact that the market has shifted massively toward digital transformation. It’s just an industrywide phenomenon, and having an employee value proposition is more important than ever before.
What kind of employee value proposition?
The next generation of workers really want to work for a company that has a purpose, a company that brings value to the world, not just an anonymous corporate entity that’s capitalistic in nature.
Work from home
To a certain extent, that hasn’t helped retention of employees because perhaps when people are together, commuting together, sharing cafeterias, being in work meetings together, it can engender a sense of loyalty.
The work-from-home environment can certainly reduce commute times, which is good for a employee’s well being. And history has shown that sometimes the (representation) of female employees diminishes in certain societies like India as they move further up the pyramid.
Working from home can be very positive from a diversity inclusion point of view because it can enable us to keep female talent in the workforce longer and, hopefully, give them opportunity to rise through the ranks. New hybrid environment will be good for the environment and inclusion.
